PEN.-

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 4,59,830, datedSeptember 22, 1891.

Application filed May 18, 1891- Serial No. 393,102. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. BRISTOL, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of NewJersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pens, of which thefollowing is a specification.

Myinvention has reference to improvements in pens, and has for itsobject to provide a pen which can be manufactured at practically thesame cost as heretofore and serves both as a pen and an eraser.

To this end my invention consists, essentially, in providing the penwith a sharpened edge to form an eraser, as fully pointed out in thefollowing specification and claims, and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings,in which Figurel represents a face view of apen enibodying myinvention. Fig. 2 is a section thereof in the plane 00 as, Fig. 1.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letterAdesignates the body of the pen, which in theexample illustrated is provided with a laterally-projecting portion orear having its outer edge sharpened to form the blade or eraser B. Inpractice I prefer to have the eraser integral with ticular form ordegree of projection for the eraser or to any particular location forthe same with respect to the body of the pen, since it is evident thatthe eraser could be formed on either side of the pen or even on the backthereof, in which latter case it would be made to project at rightangles therefrom.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. A'pen provided with a sharpened edge to serve as an eraser,substantially as described.

2. A pen provided with an integral projecting portion having a sharpenededge to form an eraser, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signedmy name, in presence of two witnesses, this 14th day of May,

WILLIAM H. BRISTOL. Witnesses:
